One monkey recovered, 42 others remain on the run in US One monkey recovered, 42 others remain on the run in US One of 43 monkeys bred for medical research that escaped a compound in the US state of South Carolina has been recovered unharmed, officials say. Many of the others are still located a few metres from the property, jumping back and forth over the facility’s fence, police said in a statement. The Rhesus macaques made a break for it on Wednesday after an employee at the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee did not fully lock a door as she fed and checked on them, officials said. The monkeys on Friday were exploring the outer fence of the Alpha Genesis compound and were cooing at the monkeys inside. The primates continued to interact with their companions inside the facility on Saturday, which is a positive sign, the police statement said. Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard relayed that efforts to recover all the animals will persist throughout the weekend and for as long as it takes, the statement said. The monkeys are about the size of a cat. They are all females weighing about 3kg. Alpha Genesis, US federal health officials and police all said the monkeys pose no risk to public health. The facility breeds the monkeys to sell to medical and other researchers. Alpha Genesis provides primates for research worldwide at its compound in Yemassee, about 80km northeast of Savannah, Georgia, according to its website.

Warren Buffett Recommends Most Investors Buy This 1 Index Fund — and It Could Turn $200 per Month Into $227,000 or More Warren Buffett Recommends Most Investors Buy This 1 Index Fund — and It Could Turn $200 per Month Into $227,000 or More Investing in the stock market can be intimidating, especially if you’re a beginner. But it’s simpler than it might seem, even if you have little to no investing experience. Where you choose to invest is the most important decision you’ll need to make. Fortunately, there are plenty of investments that are well-suited for beginners and those who simply want a no-fuss option. Start Your Mornings Smarter! Wake up with Breakfast news in your inbox every market day. Sign Up For Free » While your investing choices are personal, there’s one option that comes highly recommended by billionaire investor Warren Buffett: The S&P 500 index fund. Here’s why it’s such a fantastic investment, and how you could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars while barely lifting a finger. Image source: The Motley Fool. First, it’s wise to know what, exactly, an S&P 500 index fund is and why it can make for a smart investment. An index fund, in general, is a collection of stocks that follows a particular market index. An S&P 500 index fund, then, tracks the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and includes all the stocks within that index, mirroring its performance over time. Whether you’re new to the stock market or are just looking for a safer and more reliable investment, there are several advantages to investing in an S&P 500 index fund: Immediate diversification: By investing in just one S&P 500 index fund, you’ll instantly own a stake in stocks from 500 companies across a wide variety of industries. Greater diversification can lower your risk, and investing in an index fund makes it nearly effortless to diversify your portfolio properly. A large collection of strong stocks: The S&P 500 itself only includes stocks from the largest and strongest corporations in the U.S. — ranging from tech juggernauts like Apple and Microsoft to historic brands like Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble. These companies are far more likely to survive periods of volatility, and when you’re investing in hundreds of them at once, you can rest easier knowing your portfolio is more protected. A fantastic track record: The S&P 500 has existed for many decades, and in that time it’s faced some of the worst crashes and recessions imaginable. Yet so far, it’s recovered from every single one. While nobody can predict the future, it’s extremely likely it will rebound from future slumps as well. Research also suggests that as long as you’re investing for at least a couple of decades, it’s incredibly unlikely that you’ll lose money. Story Continues Analysts at Crestmont Research studied the S&P 500’s historic performance over 20-year periods, finding that every single one of those periods ended in positive total returns. In other words, if you’d invested in an S&P 500 index fund at any point in history and held it for 20 years — no matter how volatile the market was in that time — you’d have made money. All these advantages make the S&P 500 a reliable yet powerful investment — so much so that it’s often recommended by Warren Buffett. “In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is to own the S&P 500 index fund,” Buffett said during Berkshire Hathaway’s 2020 annual meeting when discussing the ideal investment strategy for the average *********. Through Berkshire Hathaway, he also owns two S&P 500 funds himself: The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY). In 2008, Buffett also famously bet $1 million that an S&P 500 index fund could beat a group of hedge funds over 10 years. The five hedge funds averaged returns of around 36% in that time, while Buffett’s S&P 500 fund earned nearly 126% returns. Even the highest-earning hedge fund only earned total returns of just under 88% in total. “Let me emphasize that there was nothing aberrational about stock market behavior over the ten-year stretch,” Buffett later wrote of the experiment in an annual letter to shareholders. He continued: “Seizing the opportunities then offered does not require great intelligence, a degree in economics or a familiarity with Wall Street jargon… What investors then need instead is an ability to both disregard mob fears or enthusiasms and to focus on a few simple fundamentals.” Like Buffett’s experiment proved, staying invested for the long haul pays off. While the market can be volatile in the short term, investing regularly for at least a decade or two can help you earn significant returns. Historically, the S&P 500 itself has earned an average rate of return of around 7% per year. Your returns will vary, of course, depending on how the market fares in the coming years. But let’s say you’re earning 7% average annual returns while investing $200 per month. Depending on how many years you invest, here’s approximately how much you could earn: Number of Years Total Portfolio Value 10 $33,000 20 $98,000 30 $227,000 40 $479,000 Data source: Author’s calculations via Investor.gov. Reaching $227,000 in total savings will require investing for around 30 years, but if you’re able to stay in the market just a little longer, you could earn exponentially more. The sooner you get started, then, the easier it will be to make a lot of money. The S&P 500 index fund can be a powerful way to invest with minimal effort, and with its exceptional long-term track record, it’s also a safer option than many other investments. By getting started investing now and staying in the market for the long haul, you could earn more than you might think. When our analyst team has a stock tip, it can pay to listen. After all, Stock Advisor’s total average return is 873% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 176% for the S&P 500.* They just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy right now… See the 10 stocks » *Stock Advisor returns as of November 4, 2024 Katie Brockman has positions in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF.

Social media a ‘scapegoat’ for poor mental health Social media a ‘scapegoat’ for poor mental health Social media is being used as something of a “scapegoat” for mental health issues in young people and isn’t what is making them feel depressed, anxious and driven to self-harm, says one of Australia’s leading medical research organisations. As the nation moves towards bans to protect under 16s from the harmful effects of online interaction, a new study by the ****** Dog Institute indicates the link between platforms and headspace is relatively weak. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Thursday a minimum age limit for social media access, telling parents “we have your back”. However the institute’s research indicates that although social media is a “fertile ground for disseminating harmful content”, evidence shows the parallel rise in its use and that of youth mental health problems does not imply a causal relationship. The study found the impact of social media on youth was less than universal, lacking in the results of longitudinal research and meta-analyses and unable to explain a disproportionate rise in self-harm in young women. Furthermore, restricting access to socials may also restrict access to support and information for young people experiencing problems. “If you ask young people why they are anxious or depressed, they don’t say ‘because of social media’, they say ‘it’s because my interpersonal relationship is not very good with my friends, I’ve lost my boyfriend, I’m really concerned about the way the world is’,” lead researcher Helen Christensen told AAP. “Social media is really a little bit of a scapegoat – the ******* problems youth are experiencing are broader things like access to good jobs, gendered *********, poor economic outcomes, fears of social change. “It’s these sorts of things that are preoccupying them and it’s not because of social media.” Removing access to that one element will not be a panacea for the broader societal influences causing the rising rates of self harm, Prof Christensen explains, though it is understandable that worried parents are looking for an link. “From a scientific point of view, we can see this does seem compelling but … this would mean in scientific terms people with higher social media (usage) would need to be showing higher anxiety and depression 12 months later in order to show that relationship,” she explains. “That’s when (the argument) starts to fall apart a bit… Really, we can’t blame social media.” It is natural for parents to want to protect kids from harm, be it drugs, alcohol or online bullying and exposure to undesirable content. Yet Prof Christensen says it’s important to remember 80 per cent of young people have no issues with social media and for many, its a source of useful information and community. “If you’re with a group of LGBTQI people, they will say to you that they use social media in order to make connections with people like them and it’s actually a comforting way of reaching out and finding people who feel the same way as they do,” she notes, adding that if the ban goes through, more research should be conducted as to whether it actually makes a difference. “There’s a two-sided coin here.” Limiting access may be ineffectual anyway, as children can “easily get around” bans and restrictions. The government is in the process of trialling a number of sophisticated methods of age verification to prevent that happening. Yet communications department officials overseeing the trials told Senate estimates in Canberra last week it ran the risk of pushing young people towards “darker websites”. Prof Christensen believes it would be far more effective to compel social media companies to better filter what appears on their platforms to ensure a safer environment: “Just like we want to create healthy schools.” Children’s organisation Act For Kids agrees, saying while the ban is a significant step forward, more must be done to hold social media companies accountable. “While we welcome this, there needs to be greater emphasis on social media giants and their own provisions to protect all children from online harm, regardless of their age,” according to CEO Dr Katrina Lines. “We also acknowledge there is not yet effective technology in place for age assurance or to verify parental consent.” Lifeline 13 11 14 beyondblue 1300 22 4636 Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 (for people aged 5 to 25) Source link #Social #media #scapegoat #poor #mental #health Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Police said East had been fired Oct. 14 from his job at the pier, which features shops, restaurants, entertainment and its iconic Ferris wheel along Lake Michigan. The assailant shot Lamont Johnson, 51, and Peter Jennings, 47, before fleeing, police said. The victims were pronounced ***** at a hospital.

Candyman actor Tony Todd ***** at the age of 69 Candyman actor Tony Todd ***** at the age of 69 Actor Tony Todd, known for his haunting portrayal of a ******* in the horror film Candyman and roles in many other films and television shows, has ***** at the age of 69, his longtime manager says. Todd ***** on Wednesday at his home in the Los Angeles area, his manager Jeffrey Goldberg said in a statement to the Associated Press. “I had the privilege to have Tony as my friend and client for over 30 years and I will miss that amazing man every single day,” Goldberg said. “Known worldwide for his towering presence, both physically and artistically, Tony leaves behind an indelible legacy in film, theatre and the hearts of those who had the honour of knowing him,” Goldberg’s management company said in announcing the ******. “We bid farewell to Tony Todd, a giant of cinema and a beloved soul whose impact on our lives and the world of film will never be forgotten,” it said. Todd’s film resume included roles in award-winning movies such as the Oliver Stone-directed classic Platoon, released in 1986. Todd was also known for his role in the 2000 horror film Final Destination and its sequel in 2003. The film company New Line Cinema mourned Todd’s ****** on social media over the weekend. “The industry has lost a legend,” the company said on Instagram. “We have lost a cherished friend. Rest in peace, Tony.” In Candyman, released in 1992 and followed by a remake in 2021, Todd played a menacing ******* who had a ***** on one arm. The premise is built around an urban myth that Candyman roamed the Cabrini-Green housing projects in Chicago and could be summoned by saying his name five times in front of a mirror. The 2021 movie explores societal problems such as racism and police brutality. Todd’s television career included roles in Night Court, Matlock and Law & Order. “Off-screen, Tony was cherished as a mentor, a friend, and a beacon of kindness and wisdom,” Goldberg’s company said. “He gave his time and resources to aspiring actors, consistently advocating for greater representation and authenticity within the industry.” “Those who knew him will remember his warm laugh, generous spirit, and his dedication to his craft,” the company said. “Whether on stage, on screen, or in personal conversations, Tony brought an unyielding honesty that resonated deeply with his friends, family, and fans.” Source link #Candyman #actor #Tony #Todd #***** #age Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

His wife was swept away by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters. Now he’s been scammed out of nearly $40,000 His wife was swept away by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters. Now he’s been scammed out of nearly $40,000 Rod Ashby was desperate to find his wife Kim Ashby after their newly built home in Elk Park, North Carolina, was swept away by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters in late September and she went missing. His daughter, Ansley Ashby, told CNN her father needed a four-wheel drive pickup to navigate the roads along the Elk River that had been largely decimated by the storm so he could search for Kim. His Ford F-350 had been lost to the raging water and mud. Rod, a US Navy veteran, began shopping for a new vehicle with the insurance payout he received, Ansley said. “He was really just trying to find a truck that didn’t break the bank with everything else going on that he could get fairly quickly,” she said. Rod Ashby’s Ford F-350 was destroyed in the raging water and mud during Hurricane Helene in September. – Courtesy Ashby Family Ansley said Rod – who is not speaking with the media – came across a website that claimed to be a Colorado auto dealer selling repossessed vehicles for prices lower than market value. After having multiple phone conversations and exchanging emails with the supposed seller, Rod decided to purchase a 2020 Ford F-350 listed on the site. He received a contract and bill of ***** from the seller, and wired nearly $40,000 to the seller’s bank account. “It seemed legit, to be honest,” Ansley said. But 36 hours after Rod sent the money and received confirmation that the car would be delivered by October 30, Ansley said she discovered the F-350 was still listed for ***** on the site. Ansley called the seller from a phone number not associated with their original account and pretended to be a new buyer interested in that same truck. The seller told her the truck was available, she said. It was then that Ansley said she realized they had been scammed. She did further research and learned the scammer was impersonating a real car dealership in Colorado and had even made a copycat version of its website, Ansley said. The scam has only made matters worse for a family already reeling from the devastation of Hurricane Helene and desperately looking for Kim, a 58-year-old teacher who her daughter, Jessica Meidinger, calls “the glue that holds everyone together.” “It’s just another gut punch,” said Ansley, Kim’s stepdaughter. “You just feel so helpless.” The red flags of a scam Ansley said she and her father have contacted their bank and the scammer’s bank to report the ****** but have had no luck yet recovering the money they wired. The family filed a police report with the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office in Pittsboro, North Carolina, where Rod is currently living with Ansley, The family filed a police report with the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office in Pittsboro, North Carolina, where Rod is currently living with Ansley, Meidinger and her wife, Ansley said. The family’s ****** case is under investigation, according to Randall Rigsbee, a spokesman for the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office. Ansley said the scammer’s website has been taken down. CNN affiliate ABC 11 in Raleigh reported that it emailed the company but the message was returned as undeliverable, and it could not reach anyone via phone. The owner of the legitimate Colorado car dealership told CNN he received calls from several people in recent months who fell victim to the same scam. The owner asked not to be named for ***** of his business being unfairly targeted by scam victims. “They are taking the money and people aren’t even seeing the cars (in person) or anything,” the owner said. “They are blindly transferring the money.” Melanie McGovern, a spokesperson for the Better Business Bureau, said it’s best to work with local car dealers that allow you to come in and view the vehicle and test drive it. McGovern advises doing thorough research on the car seller to make sure the business is legitimate. The Better Business Bureau has a tracker on its website that lists scams that have been previously reported to the organization. Red flags for scams include websites that look poorly designed with spelling errors and sellers rushing you to make a purchase by saying they have other buyers waiting, she said. McGovern advises people to make vehicle purchases with credit cards or checks because they are more likely to have ****** protection, unlike bank wires. “When you wire something, you are authorizing that transaction and it’s ******* to get that money back,” she said. “People really need to be patient and stop and pause and say, ‘Does this sound legitimate?’” A family left devastated Ansley Ashby said her father is struggling to cope with his new reality: his wife and three dogs are missing, his home was destroyed in the hurricane and he doesn’t know if he will get his nearly $40,000 back. Rod Ashby and Kim had spent the last two years building the house along the Elk River that they planned to make their retirement home. They had visited regularly to apply the finishing touches, according to the family. The couple live in Sanford, about 45 miles southwest of Raleigh, but went to the house near the Tennessee state line to handle a few things before the storm. The couple constructed the house 20 feet above the historic flood lines on the river. Meidinger previously told CNN its foundation was no match for Helene’s destructive tide. Kim Ashby and her husband Rod Ashby were at their home in Elk Park, North Carolina, on Friday when it was swept away by floodwaters. Kim Ashby is still missing. A neighbor took a photo of the home as it floated in the river. – Meidinger Family On September 27, the couple was eating breakfast when Rod realized something was wrong. Within seconds, the house was swept away into the river. Meidinger said Rod grabbed her mom and their three dogs, held onto a mattress and then a wall, as their house floated down the river. They were eventually separated in the fast-moving waters. “That’s the last time that he saw my mom,” Meidinger previously told CNN. “The last time anyone has seen my mom.” Avery County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Van Williams said police and volunteer search crews have spent the last six weeks combing the Elk River for Kim, without any luck. She is among two people still missing in the county after the storm, Williams said. More than 200 people ***** across the southeast region of the country in the hurricane, CNN previously reported. Ansley said her father had shared his struggles with the scammer during several phone conversations before wiring the money. “He definitely took advantage of our situation,” she said.

Game Pass brought “on the fence” gamers to Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 Game Pass brought “on the fence” gamers to Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 Game Pass itself is a huge gamble for Microsoft, while it’s great for the gamer, it can have negative effects on game sales, as its more popular plans have first-party fare heading to the platform day-and-date of release. Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6, which was obviously heading to the service, on the other hand, proved that to not be the case overall, despite worries it would. In its latest financial report (via IGN), Microsoft confirmed that sales on third-party platforms were actually 60% higher than 2023’s Modern Warfare 3. Meanwhile speaking with BBC, Treyarch’s associate creative director, Miles Leslie, asserted that its inclusion on Game Pass helped players who were “on the fence” about picking up the latest entry to the long-running FPS franchise. “What we’ve seen is it’s allowed people that might have been on the fence, might have had some of that friction, might have been like, ‘I haven’t played in a while’ to actually come back and try the game.” Now, though, the biggest thing is whether players will stick around for the long-haul or dip as soon as Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 is done and dusted. Smash Jump’s Adrian Cozmuta said this in our review: “Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 is a return to form for the franchise and deserves a spot among the best Call of Duty titles. BO6 is a complete top-to-bottom Call of Duty package, featuring an explosive campaign, a fun and frantic multiplayer and Zombies mode, the most dynamic gunplay and movement yet, and an all-around outstanding presentation.” Source link #Game #Pass #brought #fence #gamers #Call #Duty #****** #Ops Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

LG’s EV battery with six times more energy storage to power Rivian R2 SUV LG’s EV battery with six times more energy storage to power Rivian R2 SUV ********* EV manufacturer Rivian has partnered with South Korea’s LG Energy Solution for procurement of batteries which would be fitted on to its upcoming R2 electric SUV cars. As part of the contract, LG Energy Solutions will supply 4695 cylindrical batteries to Rivian under a five-year agreement. In the first year, these batteries will be manufactured at LG’s standalone plant in Arizona before being shipped to Rivian’s facility in Normal, Illinois. Both companies reaffirmed their commitment to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which provides a $7,500 tax incentive for EVs with key components made in the US. The agreement with Rivian is expected to strengthen LG Energy Solution’s presence in the US, by providing competitive battery cells and expanding into new markets. Aiming for affordability The next-generation 4695 cylindrical battery, measuring 46mm in diameter and 95mm in height, offers long range and high safety. It has six times the energy storage capacity of the current 2170 cylindrical batteries. Its larger size allows for higher energy density, better space efficiency, and improved safety, drawing attention across the industry. Rivian’s R2 series is aimed at a wider global market than the R1. The company’s partnership with LG Energy Solution is expected to play a key role in supporting R2’s design vision of long range, durability, and efficiency. LG Energy Solution has been developing its cylindrical battery technology for the past 20 years, backed by extensive manufacturing experience and a wide range of patents. “Due to the dynamic nature of the current EV market, an increasing number of global automakers are demonstrating a strong preference for a diverse range of battery form factors. This large-scale order from Rivian for 4695 batteries marks a key milestone for LG Energy Solution in expanding its client base within the cylindrical battery segment,” said David Kim, CEO of LG Energy Solution. This battery also supports Rivian’s goal of reducing manufacturing costs, helping to make the R2 its most affordable model for the mass market. Rivian projects a 45% improvement in battery pack assembly efficiency for the R2 compared to the R1 platform. By using fewer parts and focusing on efficiency, Rivian aims to provide a more cost-effective battery solution. R2 to compete with Tesla Model Y Rivian recently opened pre-orders for the R2, with deliveries expected to start in the first half of 2026. Starting at $45,000, the R2 is positioned as Rivian’s first widely accessible EV, marking a milestone similar to Tesla’s ‘Model 3 moment’. In terms of price, it will compete with models like the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5. The R2 offers 0 to 60 mph acceleration in under 3 seconds and an estimated range of over 300 miles. It comes equipped with automated driving tech and unique features, like a rear window that folds down for an ‘open-air experience’.

Spinners and Asalanka lead Sri Lanka to T20 win over NZ Spinners and Asalanka lead Sri Lanka to T20 win over NZ Sri Lanka spinners clipped the New Zealand batters on a turning pitch to win a low-scoring first Twenty20 by four wickets. Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana shared six wickets as they bowled out New Zealand for 135 in 19.3 overs on Saturday. New Zealand fast bowler Zakary Foulkes picked up three wickets in three overs but Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka’s unbeaten 35 — the game’s top score — carried Sri Lanka to 6-140 with an over to spare. “Bit of nerves, but my plan was to bat till the end,” Asalanka said. “We could have bowled them out 15-20 runs before, (but) credit should go to their lower order batters.” The second and final game will be played at the same venue on Sunday. Both teams then play three ODIs to prepare for next year’s Champions Trophy. New Zealand stumbled to 31-3 inside the batting powerplay. “I thought we did pretty well to get to 130, it looked like we wouldn’t get there halfway through,” captain Mitchell Santner said. “It was a spinning wicket to be fair. We felt that we could defend it, but a couple of good knocks take it away from you.” Tim Robinson was clean bowled off Wellalage’s (20-3) quick arm ball and Mark Chapman flicked fast bowler Nuwan Tushara to Hasaranga at deep square leg. Opening batter Will Young smashed a six and a four in his run-a-ball knock of 19 but missed Theekshana’s (21-1) fuller ball and was adjudged leg before wicket. Hasaranga (20-2) and fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana (29-2) further squeezed New Zealand in the middle overs. Glenn Phillips was baffled by Hasaranga’s googly and was trapped lbw on the back foot, and wicketkeeper Pathirana caught Mitchell Hay off a thick outside edge. Santner missed Hasaranga and was stumped as New Zealand fell to 6-96-in the 16th over. Foulkes’ quickfire unbeaten 27 off 16 lifted the total before Wellalage wrapped up the innings by claiming the last two wickets off successive deliveries. Sri Lanka stumbled early in the run chase when Santner had Kusal Mendis lbw in his first over. Pathum Nissanka (19) went for an extravagant inside out shot off Foulkes’ last ball in the powerplay and was clean bowled, while Kusal Perera (23) couldn’t read an arm ball from Michael Bracewell and was lbw. Perera became Sri Lanka’s top run-scorer in T20s, surpassing Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 1,889. Asalanka, the player of the match for his 28-ball knock, held up one end by hitting two sixes and a boundary despite Foulkes getting Bhanuka Rajapaksa caught behind off a short delivery. And Hasaranga (22) mistimed a pull shot against the right-arm fast bowler when Sri Lanka needed 11 for victory.

Florida Woman Steals C7 Corvette With $60,000 Cash Inside Florida Woman Steals C7 Corvette With $60,000 Cash Inside Read the full story on The Auto Wire Florida Woman Steals C7 Corvette With $60,000 Cash Inside Maybe not the best life decision. Car thieves, especially those who just steal a vehicle on impulse, don’t tend to be horribly bright. However, we usually assume a newer, well-maintained GM model like a C7 Corvette has OnStar functioning. This woman who swiped the sports car from a restaurant parking lot in Nassau, Florida with $60,000 in cash inside obviously didn’t think that through. Watch a man lead Indiana cops on a wild chase using a school bus here. With OnStar and similar telematics services, the owner can have an agent track the location of the vehicle in real time as well as slow it down and even bring the car to a stop. This makes the job of officers responding to a call like this much easier. Instead of this being a high-flying, high-speed, high-fatality chase, it’s resolved rather peacefully. The big question here is why someone has $60,0000 cash on them and why the ***** would they leave that much money, or really any money, inside their car while they go eat in a restaurant? We know some will automatically assume a big wad of cash is ***** money, and quite a few law enforcement agencies do the same, but the woman says her and her husband own a construction business and she just got a large cash payment. We’d recommend going straight to the bank with those kinds of funds, or at least holding onto it inside the restaurant, because an unattended vehicle isn’t exactly Fort Knox. What we do know is we don’t even leave $20 in the glovebox of our vehicles for this very reason. But wait, there’s more: in the badgecam footage, we learn the husband had given the thief who was sitting on a bench outside a **********. When the woman commented on how nice the Chevy Corvette was, the guy gladly showed off the vehicle, opening it up, etc. That allowed the suspect to case it out. But wait, it gets even better: the wife admits the $60,000 that was in her purse, which was sitting in the car, also contained her key to the Corvette. As with most modern cars, the C7 has keyless entry and ignition, so leaving a key inside means possibly anyone can walk up, open the car, start up the engine, and drive off. Story continues You might think what this woman did was unusual, but you wouldn’t believe how many people leave the key to their vehicle sitting in the cupholder or center console all the time because they just don’t want to have to carry and remember it. This is why we wonder if technology is making people dumber and lazier. The husband claims he just simply forgot to lock the car after he showed it off to a random stranger, who obviously saw the purse just sitting inside. What do you think of the whole situation?

Biden, Trump to meet in the White House’s Oval Office Biden, Trump to meet in the White House’s Oval Office US President Joe Biden and president-elect Donald Trump will meet at the White House on Biden’s invitation, a White House spokesperson says. Biden and Trump will gather for a traditional post-election meeting in the Oval Office at 11am on Wednesday, officials said. Trump will take office on January 20 after defeating current Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. Biden had initially sought re-election but dropped out of the race in July after a disastrous debate against Trump. “At President Biden’s invitation, President Biden and President-elect Trump will meet in the Oval Office on Wednesday,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. Such a meeting is customary between the outgoing president and the incoming president, and is meant partly to mark the start of a peaceful transfer of power. But Trump, a ***********, did not host Biden, a Democrat, for a sit-down after the 2020 election when Trump lost his re-election bid. The White House said Biden called Trump this past Wednesday to congratulate him and invite him to meet in the Oval Office. In a speech on Thursday, Biden said he had assured Trump “that I would direct my entire administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That’s what the ********* people deserve”. with AP Source link #Biden #Trump #meet #White #Houses #Oval #Office Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

Mason Greenwood encouraged to sue Manchester ******* after Benjamin Mendy case Mason Greenwood encouraged to sue Manchester ******* after Benjamin Mendy case Mason Greenwood encouraged to sue Manchester ******* after Benjamin Mendy case Mason Greenwood is being encouraged to sue Manchester ******* after Benjamin Mendy successfully sued their rivals Man City. According to The Sun, legal sources say there could be “potential implications” following Mendy’s case. A tribunal ruled City acted unlawfully when they stopped paying Mendy’s wages in 2021. Mendy is set to pocket £9m after his wages were withheld after he was charged with ***** and ******* ********. Mendy’s case was turned on its head when he was later cleared. As for Greenwood, it is understood that his entourage are still unhappy with *******’s decision to get rid of him six months after the charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Services. Potential case raise for Mason Greenwood against Manchester ******* Photo by CLEMENT MAHOUDEAU / AFP The reason for their frustration supposedly stems from a belief it affected Greenwood’s earning ability and attractiveness to sponsors such as Nike, who ditched him after he was arrested. However, it is worth noting that Nike made that decision without *******’s input. They didn’t want Greenwood representing their brand anymore. The report adds that ******* are prepared for legal action if Greenwood decided to try to launch a case. This means they were watching the Mendy case closely and expected a knock off effect. “This is something that has been on the cards ever since ********* charges against Mason were dropped,” a source said. “The club has noted the Mendy case and the potential implications it has for them. “But the two cases are fundamentally different. “Mendy was suspended without pay by City, whilst Mason was suspended on full pay. “If he were to launch legal action it would be for a loss of potential earnings. “He was one of the hottest prospects in Europe. “His suspension destroyed it all in an instant.” The source added: “He could also claim for damage to his mental health. “The Mendy case has emboldened those around Greenwood. “They feel he was unfairly treated. “But the club sought legal advice at every single stage and is prepared should he go through with it.” It says a lot about the Greenwood’s people that they are still focused on ******* rather than their client’s playing career in France, after he joined Marseille in the summer. Greenwood has enjoyed a decent start to life in France too. But it sounds like his representatives are looking to guarantee some early coin. Talk about burning bridges, or have they been burnt already?

Computing industry legend Elwood Edwards, the voice of AOL ‘You’ve got mail,’ passes away at 74 Computing industry legend Elwood Edwards, the voice of AOL ‘You’ve got mail,’ passes away at 74 It’s the end of an era—on November 5, a day before what would have been his 75th birthday, Elwood Edwards of America Online (AOL)’s “You’ve got mail!” fame ***** of illness, as reported by his former place of employment, WKYC Studios on WTHR. While Elwood Edwards was best known for his lineup of AOL quotes, namely “You’ve got mail!”, “Files done,” “Goodbye,” and “Welcome,” he was also active on the radio and in various newsrooms up until his retirement, working on graphics, camera operation, and more. His pay for the original AOL collaboration in 1989 was just $200. Still, in the following decades, that voice role established him in the collective consciousness, leading to subsequent cameos even in TV shows like The Simpsons. After retiring from news work at Cleveland, Ohio’s WKYC news station, in 2016, Elwood Edwards seemed set to make a living with occasional small business opportunities fueled by his past fame. This included selling personalized voice quotes on his website (a model now commonly mirrored by other voice actors on services like Cameo or Fiverr) and occasional commercial appearances or cameos. He was even spotted doing work as an Uber driver by a Twitter user in 2016. AOL Dial Up Internet Connection Sound + You’ve Got Mail (America Online) 90’s – YouTube Watch On His last two major on-screen appearances were in March 2015 on The Tonight Show, starring Jimmy Fallon, and in October 2022, just two years before his ******, promoting the e-commerce platform Shopify in a commercial. His Jimmy Fallon appearance was overtly humorous, involving an audience member’s suggestion to have Edwards say different things in his iconic “You’ve got mail!” inflection. His animated Simpsons cameo back in 2000 had him playing a virtual doctor advising a patient, “You’ve got leprosy,” still riffing on his legendary line. Before his ******, Elwood Edwards married twice and had two children with his first wife, Betsy Fulcher. He did not have children with his second wife, Karen Adams, and they eventually divorced. Regardless, Elwood Edwards’ voice and talents are well-known in his industry. He is bound to be missed by tech enthusiasts and fellow newsmen worldwide, especially those fortunate enough to have worked with him at WKYC, among other radio and news stations.

Wolves climb off the bottom of EPL with first victory Wolves climb off the bottom of EPL with first victory Wolves secured their first English Premier League win after 11 games and climbed off the bottom of the table by beating Southampton 2-0 to ease the pressure on manager Gary O’Neil. Brazil forward Matheus Cunha set up Pablo Sarabia for a second-minute goal and netted himself in the second half to inspire Wolves at Molineux on Saturday. Southampton dropped to bottom and have now lost nine of 11 matches since returning to the top flight. O’Neil said: “The players deserve it. They’ve put in an awful lot of work. “The win was not about me today, a lot was made about me and my future, I’m comfortable in my position and the future my coaching career has.” Fulham continued their impressive season by winning at 10-man Crystal Palace 3-0 to move level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea. Emile Smith Rowe opened the scoring and Harry Wilson – whose two stoppage-time goals earned a win at Brentford on Monday – added two more late goals after Daichi Kamada was red-carded for Palace. Afterwards, Fulham boss Marco Silva admitted Wilson is doing everything he can to ****** for a start but said: “I know that Harry, like all the others, he wants to play from the start. “I know him very well, I know his mood when he’s not playing, but the reality is that he has to be ready to help his team from the start, or if the manager decides a different way from the bench. “That is his job, I’m here to take decisions, but he’s doing nothing wrong.” Brentford bounced back from that painful loss with a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth, thanks to Yoane Wissa’s double and a 50th-minute winner from Mikkel Damsgaard. West Ham drew at home with Everton 0-0 in the other game, with England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford producing a breathtaking save in stoppage time to preserve a point for the visitors. In the later games, defending champion Manchester City — coming off three straight losses in all competitions — are visiting Brighton before first-placed Liverpool hosted Aston Villa.

Runner becomes crowd favourite at New York Marathon Runner becomes crowd favourite at New York Marathon Ceri Hooper Lloyd Martin has completed the New York marathon, just months after completing his first one in London earlier this year A runner with Down’s syndrome – who gained a world record at his first marathon in London earlier this year – has become a crowd favourite after taking on New York. Lloyd Martin, 20, whose family is from Cardiff, made history earlier this year as the youngest person in his learning disability category to complete a marathon. While constant dance breaks meant he did not beat his London time in New York, it gained him a new host of fans. “I’m so unbelievably proud,” said his mum, Ceri Hooper. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would he would ever be running alongside me.” Lloyd’s cross-continental marathon journey began at a young age, as an avid enjoyer of many sports including running, gymnastics and playing football for Special Olympics clubs. “He had said a few times he’d like to run a marathon, but I really didn’t take him seriously,” said Ceri, a marathon runner herself. However, after the opportunity arose for London, and Lloyd was given the rundown of the amount of training it would involve, he chose to go for it. Ceri Hooper Ceri said she’s “unbelievably proud” of what Lloyd has achieved “We literally went from a 5k Parkruns to a marathon in four months,” said Ceri, from Cardiff. “We only did three runs a week. I really didn’t want him to get injured or get fed up with it… he still had his other training, for football and gymnastics.” “It’s just such a lovely experience and he understands the health and fitness benefits to the training as well.” After the success of London, the chance to do it all over again across the pond was a chance Lloyd could not miss out on. “Lloyd was totally excited, he loved the whole marathon experience,” added Ceri. Ceri Hooper Lloyd was stopping and dancing at every chance he got, to the enjoyment of spectators and fellow runners, said Ceri Despite his relative stardom in *** running circles, Ceri expected to be anonymous in New York, however this was not the case. “The amount of people that passed us and said ‘oh, I saw you in London’ or ‘I saw you at the Great North Run’, it was really really nice. He had a lot of support.” “Because he loves to dance, every music stop, whether it was a choir, a band, a DJ, he was stopping and dancing, which is why it ended up taking us so long. “He was having such a good time, I couldn’t tear him away from the music,” joked Ceri. Ceri Hooper After the success of New York and London, Lloyd now wants to complete the big six global marathons Lloyd completed the run in eight and half hours, but was picking up new fans the entire way. “Runners were stopping to film him, people in the crowd, they were all filming him and and just getting involved. “Other runners were stopping and dancing with him. It was quite infectious.” After getting the taste for marathon running, Lloyd now has big ambitions, with his sights set on completing the big six global marathons. “I’m aware of just how much training that is going to take, so we’re just taking it one at a time,” said Ceri.
